Yes I am thinking along the lines of not doing anymore. I certainly won't if these symptoms don't clear soon. It scares me as hyperacusis is a real disability and it ruins quality of life and I really don't want to go through all that again.
Mind you, one of the main reasons I had it so many years is that the doctors didn't know what it was and I wasn't diagnosed until 2000.
When they told me what it was and gave me ideas how to fix it so I cured myself in 2001, after roughly a year of self-therapy. For the last 3 and a half years, despite having all this DB drama, I haven't been in pain so my life actually improved a lot.
It comes back briefly if I have a cold, but I've never known it to stay for days like this I'm sure it has to be those drugs. Of course, the dr says it 'might not be' but then he wouldn't have told me to stop them if it wasn't.
Ellie, thanks for being so honest. Most doctors I have dealt with aren't. The only 1 doctor I have ever really admired was my OB - he was lovely, really helpful and non-interventionist. He recognised that the birth was my experience and that he was only there if I wanted him.
I remember getting into difficulties at the 3rd stage with DD2 and I said that I didn't want any men present at the birth, and most OB's are men, so he located the only female OB on duty in the whole hospital to come and help me.
I'm sure it has to be those drugs. Of course, the dr says it 'might not be' but then he wouldn't have told me to stop them if it wasn't.
